The Stress of Dog Attacks on Mail Carriers A dog sits at the window. He sees a big man walk up with something scary in his arm. The dog barks. The man leaves. In the dog’s mind, his barking made the threat go away. The next day, it happens again. And the next day. And the next. The dog starts to think he needs to do even more to fend off the threat. So over time, he barks even harder, starts to growl, and even becomes aggressive with the man. Eventually the dog gets out and attacks. That is the true story of what happens to over 5,000 mail carriers a year. Dog attacks are a huge problem for the
Nursing Home Abuse in Memphis Putting our loved ones in an assisted living or nursing home can be an emotionally difficult decision. The choice is hard on everyone involved and finding the right nursing home is no easy task. There are many factors that go into choosing the right nursing home for your loved one that range from location to price, and quality of care. Perhaps the most important of all these elderly home decision factors is quality of care. We have heard and seen far too many cases of obvious nursing home neglect throughout the years and there have been some tragic consequences from putting your loved one in a home that is not properly run with inattentive and
Driverless cars are no longer just an idea out of Minority Report. Tesla, Google, Apple, and other companies are developing the technology to let you drive hands-free. And down the road (pun intended), the plan is to make these cars fully autonomous, meaning they won’t need anyone to direct the driving. There are a lot of problems with driverless cars, and it will take some time to work out the kinks. In my opinion, no vehicle operating at the speed cars do will ever fully be safe; but I can certainly see how driverless cars could be more safe than what we have right now, especially after what I see every day as a Memphis car crash injury lawyer.

This is a wonderful story from someone who filled out Chapter 13 bankruptcy paperwork with our firm, but ultimately decided not to sign with us, and then moved across the country to the Pacific Northwest. Soon he had to come back to Memphis for his court hearing. Fortunately he’d already met us and our very own Hollis Craft, whose very impressive bio you can read here. This is what happened when he arrived: “I paid for my round trip ticket to Memphis, and had a nightmarish experience at some broken hotel, but I wouldn’t miss my appointment for anything. I arrived at the court at 11:30. I thought I had my mission completed until I was informed that without my
How long do you have to wait to buy a house after your Chapter 7 bankruptcy? Video Transcript Remember that Chapter 7 is a complete discharge of debts. It’s not a repayment plan. And unlike Chapter 13, it’s not going to go on for a few years; it’s going to go on for a few months. From the time you file your Chapter 7 (most of the time, unless there’s some problem with it that has to be resolved), in a period of three to four months it’s going to be discharged and completely finished as far as you’re concerned. And that means that all of your debt – unsecured and so forth – will be gone, and

A week later, your back starts to hurt. The pain worsens enough to cause you to see a doctor. You find out you’re feeling delayed pain from the car
There are a few things to remember when someone sues you for a debt: 1. If you don’t respond to the lawsuit, you automatically lose. As a Memphis bankruptcy lawyer, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen clients come in who have a judgement against them for a debt just because they never responded or didn’t show up in court. It’s not always their fault – sometimes it’s impossible to take time off from work or family – but it’s a frustrating reason to lose a lawsuit. 2. If you do respond, the lawsuit can take longer. A judge will have to decide the case, which can take a while. If the judge decides in your favor or
